One of the absolute best shows on frying turkey was Alton Brown's "Good Eats" show on the Food Network. Yes, it was a bit over the top, but he was stressing the importance of safety !!! and premeasuring. I'll include the url to his recipe only.......he brines his turkey first for even more flavor. I figure why not, you are deep frying, do it up grand.
Remember to do a "dry run" first, that is put the bird into the cooker and then pour oil or water over the top to measure how much you'll need come cooking time. You sure don't want to have too much so when you put the bird in,it over flows onto the burner, flares up and catches you and the house on fire.
Also remember, don't put the cooker near the house, on a deck or on any surface that will be damaged if there is an oil overflow.....that includes the driveway. Do you have some patio stones you can put on the lawn?
Finally, make sure that bird is DRY when you put it into the oil, don't need oil splattering at that point.
Yeah, it takes a boat load of oil, expensive oil.
Good eats!
